The behaviour that is rewarded is what is reinforced. Instead of reporting and analyzing complex problems in our state and communities, we reward reporting of "bad behaviour", this is like our fascination with "bad news and failures" and not suceesses, innovation and improvements. This may be a major reason why newspaper reading and major TV news watching goes down year after year. It looks a lot like the story of the auto industry in Michigan.

In the meantime, let's be thankful we still have what's left of the Freep. John, you nailed the bittersweet essence.
